IH-777-XHS - 25oz Selvedge Denim Super Slim Tapered Jeans - Indigo
-
First soak. Four months of wear.
Holy Mary Mother of God, these are now as stiff again as they were when they arrived. They look great but show virtually no fades or marks.My father, who was for the most part a bastion of bad advice, once said that all good things take time.
Now I'm sure of it. Onward. I dig this. -
Quick question before I purchase these (pending restock, that is), because these are sanforized, most of the soaking/washing shrinkage will stretch back out (barring length), does this hold firm for the thigh?
Reason, 12.1 is a great thigh for me, perfect. I like 12.0, also, but anything below that is a no go. I don't want to size up because then the top block will just be too big and bulky.So, experiences on thigh shrink/stretch?
Thanks, guys.

Hi there.
They will shrink everywhere although not as much as UHR or other unsanforised denim.
They will stretch out to (or possibly over) the original pre-wash measurements, where they are put under pressure (so in the thigh for sure). It is a slower process than with the 21oz for example, so be prepared for a couple of weeks of discomfort.
Another option (what I did with my 666-XHS in fact) is to wear them unsoaked for a while and break them in before washing/soaking.

@naufalnuh 10/10 beautiful fit. I believe this is the fit we all strive for & look at the perfect cuffs. 777 may be the next fit I try.
@Kasi Bellissimo & time for 555XHSib? Those hooks look like they've been suffering through holding 25oz denim for so long they're bending lol

Still does the job than wooden peg would do, solid grip so don’t fall and they become more heavier when wet, laugh to that.. you freshie

Wait did you really take offense to that
I use plastic and they are bending worse. -
They have these heavy gauge copper plated hangers at Walmart for like $3 for 6 that are twice as thick as an old fashioned wire hanger. Also because they are copper plated they won't rust and leave marks on your clothes…
The walls will fall down before these will bend from the weight of wet jeans.
You can buy a whole case of them for $38 https://www.walmart.com/ip/Mainstays-Steel-Wire-Copper-Hangers-60-count/225458744
had it first machine wash…..
